The Third Reich: I seized power

At Hess’s request, the Navy revised its large-scale shipbuilding program, cutting down many unnecessary large surface warships and concentrating limited resources on a few important warships.

This plan is named Plan X.

In the next decade, the Navy will focus on building submarines and aircraft carriers, as well as warships and aircraft to accompany aircraft carriers.

In the whole plan, the Navy will build 300 submarines and 12 aircraft carriers.

Among them, the displacement of aircraft carriers should be more than 25,000 tons, and the number of carrier-based aircraft carried should exceed 90.

In addition to this, the Navy will build 12 large air defense cruisers, 36 light cruisers, 72 destroyers. Ensure that these aircraft carriers are equipped with powerful air defense.

In addition, the Navy will build six heavy cruisers with a displacement of more than 15,000 tons, as well as three battle cruisers.

This plan made Hess relatively satisfied.

In fact, to defeat the Royal Navy, the role of large surface warships is relatively small.

After all, the Sun Never Sets Empire mainland is too close to Europe. As long as the Third Reich can sweep Europe in the future, the deployment of a large number of dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft in Western Europe can pose a mortal threat to the Royal Navy. If you seize the opportunity, it is entirely possible to hit or even crush the Royal Navy in one fell swoop.

However, the sun never sets between the empire and Europe, after all, there is a strait.

Even if the strait is not wide, it is not possible to swim.

It is precisely because of this unique geographical environment that it gives the sun never sets the empire natural protection. It allows it to manipulate the situation on the European continent while isolated overseas.

To put it bluntly, the Sun Never Sets Empire is a-stirring stick in Europe.

Its rule is that a powerful hegemon power will never be allowed to emerge in Europe. Once a great power rises, they will unite with other countries to besiege it.

When the Gallic Empire rose during the Napoleonic period, the Sun Never Set Empire, together with many European countries, launched many anti-Gallic wars, and finally brought down the Gallic Empire, which almost dominated the whole of Europe.

And when the Mao Bear rose, the Sun Never Set Empire also began to chase and block the Mao Bear, and even teamed up with Gaul on the Corimia Peninsula and beat the Mao Bear fiercely.

In the last world war, the Second Empire rose to dominate Europe. The Sun Never Set Empire also joined forces with the Gaul Kingdom and the Mao Bear Empire to besiege the Second Empire.

This time, if Hess wants to lead the rise of the Third Reich, it is also inevitable that he will go to war with the Empire that never sets.

And if you want to win this war, you must defeat the Sun Never Set Empire.

A landing on the mainland of the Japanese Empire would be inevitable.

This makes the future Third Reich necessary to have a strong navy. It is necessary not only to defeat the Imperial Navy of the Japanese Islands Empire, but also to provide support for the future landing of the Empire itself.

Even, after defeating the Sun Never Sets Empire, he will face another power on the other side of the ocean in the Atlantic, that is, the world’s number one power, Eagle Sauce Country.

This made it necessary for the Third Reich to have a strong navy.

In other words, Hess approved the construction of twelve aircraft carriers, more for Eagle Sauce across the ocean.

After all, the great industrial strength of the Eagle Sauce Country, especially the shipbuilding power, is enough to suffocate any country.

In another time and space, even if the Eagle Sauce Country suffered a crushing defeat in the Pacific theater, it suffered heavy losses. But still with its strong industrial strength, he dragged the Eastern Empire to death.

In the future, if the Third Reich wants to defeat the Eagle Sauce Country, it must fight hard with the enemy in this regard.

If it can take advantage at the beginning of the war, and even destroy the industrial base on the east coast of the Eagle Sauce Country with powerful aircraft carriers, especially those shipyards, it will give the Third Reich a huge advantage in future wars.

“Very well, the Navy can start developing and building Project X from now on. I am looking forward to the future when our Navy defeats the enemy and becomes the most powerful navy in the world! Hess said.

“Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!” General Raeder and General Dönitz both said.

“Your Excellency Prime Minister, in terms of carrier-based aircraft, can we cooperate with the Air Force? In this way, resources can be more intensive. General Raeder said.

Hess nodded: “Absolutely.” The Air Force is about to be rebuilt. Next, huge resources will be invested in the development of fighters that are ahead of the entire world. The Navy can improve on the basis of the Air Force’s fighters and convert them into carrier-based aircraft. ”

Hess clearly remembers that the BF-109 and FW-190 fighters of the future Third Reich Air Force are extremely advanced fighters. After changing to carrier-based aircraft, it can also crush the carrier-based aircraft of other countries.

At least, the Swordfish carrier-based aircraft of the Empire that never sets, the F4F fighter of Eagle Sauce, will definitely not be able to fight it.
